Ah, my first nail art of the year was done last month and I'm glad I have at least one for the month of February! It was one fine Friday evening as I was looking at my boring (equivalent to no polish) nails, I've decided to pull out my nail polish box and play with the "safe" nail polish for pregnant women! Who would've thought playing could be fun? I ended up with a very simple (promise, it really is!) and playful nails that I would like to call "Be My Valentine".

"Be My Valentine" is an interpretation done by yours truly as this cute, matchstick boy and girl reminded me so much of the couple pillow case we have which I bought from Bangkok Thailand years ago! I'm sure some of you probably have the same pillowcase too!

Step 1:

Since I do not own any "safe for pregnant women" base coat and top coat, I've decided to give this step a skip and went ahead and applied 2 coats of Girl Stuff Polish in Flirt. Wait until polish is completely dry.

Step 2:

Create a simple medium-thick French tip using Orly Nail Lacquer in Day Glow.

It is very important to wait for the 2 base coats to completely dry before proceeding to this step. The reason is, the white French Tip could blend with the base color!

Step 3:

Pull out your nail art dotting tool or any tool that has a round tip, create random dots using the same Orly Nail Lacquer in Day Glow as shown on photo below. Try to create different sizes of dots too!
